Created attachment 185967 [details] Spreadsheet including image comparing Properties of pivot table for 7.3.1.3 and 7.3.7.2 A pivot table created from a range including column named "Data" shows nothing in the Data Fields pane which should show Count - Data2. The pivot table displays the data and will update with Refresh but if Properties opened nothing can be seen in Data Fields. When OK pressed then the pivot table will update to show empty column. The example pivot table shows Data fields when opened in LibreOffice 7.3.1.3 but not in 7.3.7.2 nor 7.1.5.2 so probably related to Bug 118117. Pivot table created in German version of LibreOffice but issue showing in English-UK language version so possible related to Bug 64441 Issue appeared in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/counting-valid-or-missing-cell-data-based-on-other-column/89239/4
I can see the issue in the attachment: Steps: 1. Right-click on existing pivot table > Properties... Result: nothing in "Column Fields" nor in "Data Fields". However, if you right-click > Refresh the pivot table, the values update and are calculated properly! If I recreate the pivot table in 7.3.7.2 with: 1. Select 3 columns 2. Data > Pivot table > Insert of edit... > OK 3. Drag "Continent" into "Row Fields" 4. Drag "Data2" into "Data Fields", double-click it to change to "count" 5. Click OK 6. Right-click on new pivot table > Properties... Result: the properties are still there, works as expected. Tested in: Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e114eadc50a9ff8d8c8a0567d6da8f454beeb84f CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded So the issue is that pivot tables created in a version prior to the fix for bug 118117 result in *functioning* properties that are not displayed in the dialog in later versions. Justin, what do you think?
Original spreadsheet from Meta.xml was created in LibreOffice/7.0.4.2$Linux_ARM_EABI LibreOffice_project I modified it in 7.3.7.2 just to add image so neither is earlier version. It was created in German language version so the word displayed in Data fields was "Daten" not "Date". Apparently, it still displays "Daten" in German version, de.DE. Maybe better to have an error dialogue on creation of pivot table based on a range with a heading using reserved words so the issue could be corrected before the pivot table is created.
Here is a patch that fixes it: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/149013 However I am a little reluctant to get involved in this again, since I don't know anything about pivot tables, and they obviously need a lot of work.

The fix for Bug 118117 solves the issue for new pivot tables. Existing pivot tables from affected versions need to be rebuilt before they can include the data from the column named "Data". Probably best to mark this as duplicate of Bug 118117 Version: 7.6.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: dd47e4b30cb7dab30588d6c79c651f218165e3c5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 26100; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
